Widescreen images, digitally processed in an elaborate way, are the trademark of Andreas Gursky, the photo artist from the so-called Becher School at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. His reduced panoramas impress with their precision, order and colors. The aesthetic photographs that look like paintings are perfectly manipulated at the computer and they are often the result of many months of digital retouching. The images show a constructed reality with a lot of room for associations.
In the exhibition older well-known works as well as new visual compositions present Andreas Gurky’s intensive photographic study of the state of the world. 34 mostly large-format works from almost 30 years.
